We were on thebus then. I

17、 was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to (26)I listened every morning .little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I though

18、t about all the places I was going to see. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but (28)idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost. I did not quite know w

19、hat I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even (29)(complex) for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. However, my responsibilities in the family increased a lot since my English was superior (30) anyone else' at home. I translated at in

20、terviews with immigration officers, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.From my experiences, I believe that my life will turn out all right (31)it is not that easy.(B)How Room Designs Affect Our Work and FeelingArchitects have long had the feeling that the place we live i

21、n can affect our thoughts, feeling and behaviours. But now scientists are giving this feeling an empirical (實證的) basis. They are discovering how (32)(design) spaces that promote creativity, keep people focused, and lead to relaxation.Researches show aspects of the physical environment can influence

22、creativity. In 2012, JoanMeyers-Levy reported that the height of a room' ceiling affects (33) people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, (34)(lead) them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more de

23、tailed outlook. Besides ceiling height, the view (35)(afford) by a building may influence an occupant ' s ability to concentrate.Using nature to improve focus of attention ought to pay off academically, and (36) seems to, according to a study. Students in classrooms with unblocked views of at le

(38) that is true generally, keeping the

25、light low during dinner or at parties could increase relaxation.So far public buildings (39)(focus) on by scientists. We have a very limited number of studies, so we are almost looking at the problem through a straw (吸管),"architect David says. How do you take answers to very specific questions

28、l face a(n) 41 fee of £ 80 for getting back their vehicles.The law will also be 42 to British citizens. The fines will be described officially as “deposits " when the traffiw s take 43 , because the money would be returned if the driver went to court and was found not guilty. In practice,

29、very few foreign drivers are likely to return to Britain to deal with their cases.Foreign drivers are rarely 44 because police cannot take action against them if they fail to appear in court. Instead, officers often 45 give warnings. Foreign vehicles are 30 percent more likely to be in a crash than

30、British-registered vehicles. The number of crashes caused by foreign vehicles rose by 47 percent between 2008 and 2013. There were almost 400 deaths and serious injuries and 3,00046 injuries from accidents caused by foreign vehicles in 2013.The new law is partly 47 to settle the problem of foreign l

31、orry drivers ignoring limits to weight and hours at the wheel. Foreign lorries are three times more likely to be in a crash than British lorries.

But 53 , planning for next year may start nine months or more in advance, with various stages of evaluation leading to 54 of the complete plan three months before the start of the ye

35、ar.Planning continues, however, throughout the year, since managers 55 progress against targets, while looking forward to the next year. What is happening now will 56 the objectives and plans for the future.In today ' s business climate, as markets constantly change and become more difficult to

36、57 , some analysts believe that long-term planning is 58 .
